Aedes aegypti Linnaeus 1762 is the primary vector of several viruses that cause arboviral diseases. Control strategies, such
as SIT, require large-scale mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) production, which depends critically on larval nutrition. However, the
high cost and limited availability of conventional feed components hinder SIT implementat(...)

Invasion and environmental drivers of Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) in the freshwater ecosystems of centre region, Burkina Faso
Salam Sankara , Noellie Winkom Kpoda , Idrissa Ouédraogo, Noellie Débora Balima and Awa Gneme
The introduction of invasive mollusc to non-native habitats can have adverse impacts on native species. This successful introduction is facilitated by habitat degradation linked to human activities. The hypothesis that it had been introduced through the importation of exotic plants was suggested after the first scientific report of Melanoides(...)

Updates on population status of vultures in Nazinga Game Ranch, Burkina Faso
Clément Daboné, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Adama Ouéda, Wendengoudi Guenda, Peter D.M. Weesie
In the early 2000s, the ornithological community was alerted to the vulture population decline in West Africa. Since then, the situation of vultures in this area has not been updated, specifically in Burkina Faso’s protected areas.
To find out more, we used transect counts to explore the current status of vultures (species d(...)

Evaluation de l’efficacité de la régénération assistée du karité (Vitellaria paradoxa C. F. Gaertn.) par semis direct de graines et par plantation par les populations
ZERBO Guessèma Léonard, BASTIDE Brigitte, OUOBA Yempabou Hermann et HIEN Mipro
Le karité, malgré son rôle socio-économique important, est une espèce dont les peuplements se dégradent. En réponse à cette dégradation, des techniques de régénération assistée de l’espèce (semis direct de graines de karité et plantation de pieds de karité produits en pépinière) testées et validées par la recherche, ont été transférées aux pop(...)

Molecular Detection of blaCTX-M-G1, blaVIM blaIMP and mcr Genes in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Bacilli Isolated at Schiphra Protestant Hospital, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
KJ. ZONGO, I. TIENDREBEOGO, MR. YOUGBARE, TWC. OUEDRAOGO, H. OUEDRAOGO, L. TRAORE, M. SAVADOGO, FW. DJIGMA and J. SIMPORE
Background and Aim: Infectious diseases nowadays are caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria,
making their management both difficult and costly. In Gram-negative bacilli, several enzymes
particularly ESBLs and carbapenemases allow to counteract the antibiotic effect of nearly all β
lactams. This leads to a dilemma for clinicians who increa(...)

Modeling the current spatial distribution of snail intermediate hosts of schistosomiasis using Maxent software in the Volta Basin (Burkina Faso)
Noëllie W. Kpoda, Salam Sankara, I Ouedraogo, Noellie Débora Balima, Awa Gneme, Adama Ouéda, Herman Sorgho
Background The socioeconomic consequences of schistosomiasis have forced the integration of control strategies. Currently, all control efforts have tended to involve the control of snail intermediate hosts. However, the integration of snail control into the general schistosomiasis control strategy has not yet been effective in Burkina Faso. Wh(...)

L’hyperplasie congénitale des surrénales est une pathologie génétique à transmission autosomique récessive qui regroupe un ensemble de maladies dont les manifestations sont diverses. Le déficit en 21-hydroxylase est la cause la plus fréquente d’hyperplasie congénitale des surrénales et est dans 75% des cas secondaire à la mutation du gène CYP2(...)

Impact du Barrage de Souapiti sur le Peuplement de la Faune Ichtyologique dans l’Estuaire du Fleuve Konkouré
Ousmane Sangare, Yabyouré Marc-Florent Sawadogo, I. Ouedraogo, A. Oueda, F. Touré
La faune piscicole est menacée par les effets combinés des changements climatiques et des activités anthropiques. La croissance du nombre de barrages hydroélectriques sur les fleuves amplifie ces menaces. Il existe très peu de données concernant l’impact des barrages sur l’ichtyofaune du pays. La présente étude a été initiée afin de fournir de(...)

Introduction : La présence d’une mutation activatrice du gène EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Re-ceptor) est corrélée à une sensibilité de la tumeur aux inhibiteurs de tyrosine kinase (TKI) du gène EGFR. La recherche de ces mutations est donc essentielle pour l’indication des TKI et la décision thérapeutique chez les patients atteints d’un cance(...)

Hyacinthe Kobié TOE, Inoussa TOE, Moussa W. GUELBEOGO, Soumanaba ZONGO, Idrissa TRAORE, Jean-Claude Wilfried W. DAMIBA, Siaka DEDE, Ibrahim SANGARE
Dengue has re-emerged in recent years in Burkina Faso, and the capital city
Ouagadougou is the most affected city. In the absence of an effective vaccine and
treatment, control of the Aedes vector through larval source management remains one
of the key sustainable strategies for responding to dengue outbreaks. This study aims
to determine(...)
